Yes it does, that's why I avoid organic food.

Nice troll.

Ya... its people like him who have no clue the benefits of such foods.

They may be better for human consumption, but the environmental impact of organic fruits and vegetables are often misrepresented, as well as buying local foods.

This post is completely useless without any arguments to back it up. Your post is essentially the same as Armad's troll post, although you probably don't mean to troll.

Haha, this is just the way I post, make a general sweeping statement, wait for someone to make a couple of counter-points, and then go in guns-blazing.

Generally, though, organic food requires more land, water, and energy per crop than the normal mass-produced shit. It's just economies of scale all over again. Organic farms, on the whole, also produce less crops which means that a far greater number of organic farms are required to meet supply requirements - adding to transportation needs, etc.

That's only half of the story though. Enitre rainforests are being destroyed every day for farms to grow food on for the "mass-produced shit". Tons of animal diseases origin from the factory farms not to mention the enormous CO2 emissions. Factory farms are actually one of the worst things for our environment right now, just behind the killing of our oceans.
